According to CryptoQuant analyst Tarek J, the pullback is not driven by negative news but rather by profit-taking behavior. He noted that such reversals often signal a local top, potentially leading to short-term consolidation or correction.

However, Greeks.live macro strategist Adam offered a different view. He emphasized that bullish sentiment remains strong, with many traders eyeing $130,000 as the next resistance level.
